KonoSuba season 3 episode 1 recap

Expand Tweet

KonoSuba episode 1 began with Kazuma having a nightmare about Sylvia and the events of the canon film for the series. The next day, Kazuma revealed his intentions to become a monk due to the trauma he felt from the events of the aforementioned canon film. He then asked the guild receptionist for info on a nearby monastery, departing shortly while admitting his crush on her on his way out (thinking he would never see her again).

Aqua, Darkness, and Megumin decided to follow him, with Megumin eventually using an explosion spell on a nearby landmass. This forced the group to set up camp for the night since Megumin could no longer move, where her feelings for Kazuma were teased. The next morning, they continued, eventually coming across an injured girl in the forest. However, Kazuma asserted it was a type of monster that the adventurer’s guild hat put a hit out on.

The group escaped successfully, but Kazuma doubled back, believing the girl to be friendly. Here, he got a glimpse of her true nature and her last victim who had a “magic mallet,” which produced gold coins. Kazuma abandoned his dreams of becoming a monk and returned home, but the mallet was stolen by Chris along the way. The episode ended with the protagonist receiving a summons from Princess Iris to meet with her for dinner.

KonoSuba season 3 episode 2 what to expect (speculative)

Expand Tweet

With the first episode seeing Kazuma invited to meet with Princess Iris, it’s expected that KonoSuba season 3 episode 2 will begin with their meeting. Fans will likely see the main character be requested to take down yet another of the Demon King’s generals, which he’ll likely try to reject but eventually get roped into.

In typical fashion for the series, the rest of KonoSuba season 3 episode 2 will likely serve as comic relief, seeing Kazuma and co getting into various gags as they prepare to go on a new journey. Fans can expect old characters who haven’t appeared so far in season 3, such as Wiz, to appear in the next episode.

Final thoughts

With the third season of the beloved isekai anime series already off to a hilarious start, it's rightfully expected that the comedy will continue. Moreover, many fans have shared their positive reviews of the premiere on X, such as:

"Season 3 Episode 1 Of Konosuba is so GOODDD!!!"

Another fan commented:

"Watched Episode 1 of Konosuba Season 3. Not much to say. This is a great comedy show. The art and animation looks great. This is going to be another great season. The first episode was really funny [crying laughing emoji]"

With fans satisfied thus far, the series is off to a great start in its third season, which Konosuba season 3 episode 2 will hopefully continue.
